So often when people find out that I am vegan they launch into how they could be vegan if it weren’t for the cheese. They can’t live without the cheese. It makes me chuckle inside because you would think I was talking to mice, but their fears of going without are very real. Well, fear […]

Happy Meatless Monday. It is going to be a delicious week. Yesterday I spent the entire day creating vegan gift baskets for our friends and family. It was truly divine. We have always given edible gifts, but now they are all vegan and I think that is cool. I made two kinds of hummus, hand […]

The other day I found a new-to-me package of breakfast pitas called Morning Rounds by the Ozery Bakery in Toronto. According to the Ozery site, “… our business is based upon this simple foundation: Our bodies deserve the best possible fuel. And our commitment to quality and service is at the core of our daily […]

I am a condiment lover. I have always believed that food was a vehicle for condiments. BBQ sauce, steak sauce, mountains of mustard and a slather of vegan mayo. I eat sandwiches to enjoy condiments. One of the most fearful changes I knew I would have to make on the Engine 2 plan is my […]

I have been suffering from muffin phobia for some time now. This is mainly because the ones that have crossed my path have been calorie dense and nutrient barren, albeit delicious desserts disguised in a breakfast wrapper. I could eat a 1000 calorie muffin that was as big as my head and a half hour […]

I love hot dogs. I eat them all summer long from the grill, in a bun, without a bun, in baked beans… I love them. Last week I had my first Chicago Style dog ever and it blew my mind. It is a hot dog smothered in yellow mustard, sweet relish (the crazy bright green […]

I have shared with you before that Sandy is a lover of cheese. Her commitment to loving cheese was so solid that when I decided to try going vegan I was sure it would be a solo attempt. Much to my delight and surprise, Sandy tried the vegan thing as well and we have been […]

Yesterday I promised to share with you in today’s post about a vegan cheese that was new to us, called Sheese. We’ve sampled a few of their products and here is the first scoop about some of this non-dairy cheesy delight. I used the Gouda to make the Garlicky, Gouda Croutons that topped the roasted veggie […]
